With Faction Changes live surprisingly early, this Shared Topic happened to be timed just about perfectly. This topic was suggested some time ago by Nigiri of Adventures of a Priest.
After publicly stating a while ago that they would not do this, Bliz has announced in their forums they are working on Faction change mechanic for players who want to switch. Here is a link to the European WoW forums with some Q&A by a Blue.
This topic is a mine field. People who are against it seem to be very against it and people who are for it seem, for the most part, quiet on the subject. It would be interesting to read something longer than a short forum post with some well thought out discussion.
Answering with a wide variety of opinions are this week’s bloggers
Shopshopshop of Runeforge Gossip
Rubymelon of Rubymelon
Kel of Awakening in Progress
Phoenix of Azeroth Metblogs
Dertt of A Tranquil Spirit
Natarumah of Twisted Faith
Snakedriver of Bible of Dreams
Boize of Moonglade
Almaster of Lux Legis
Would you consider changing factions? What would it mean to you to do so? If you have any ideas on this week’s Shared Topic, or have one to suggest of your own, make sure you head on over to the Blog Azeroth Forums!

Oh my goodness, this is cool! Some frood named Fitzcairn coded an awesome site called macroexplain.com that allows you to paste a macro into it, and then it explains what it does, line by line! Here’s an example of the site at it’s finest: a link to its explanation of a hunter misdirect macro I use. I can add a title, a class, tags, comments, and attribute it to an author if I want. 
The tool is dead easy to use. One warning- it doesn’t speak LUA (the wow scripting language) so if you tell it to explain a complex script you use to, say, mail all your greens to another character, it’s explanation will run something along the lines of “Run LUA” and then the code after the “/run” command. Still, for those complex non-LUA macros, this is a godsend. No more trying to parse the code in your head and remember how conditionals work (wait, will holding shift while pressing this macro shoot or feign death?).
On behalf of the internet, thank you Fitzcairn. Thank you.
The resource site spotlight (aka wiki tiki utility posts) should happen every week, but is written by Euripides from outdps.com, and endeavors to fill your favorites bar with an unmanageably large quantity of WOW resource sites. So much knowledge that it hurts. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
